I added “Mfr. Part No.” to the Field Name Templates in 5.12. As @gkeeth mentioned, I deleted this entry from the eeschema file under C:\Users<user>\AppData\Roaming\KiCad\6.0.

Yes! Working now under Mojave. There are a lot of files in the prefs folder, so for anyone else needing to do this, the file in question is a text file called simply “eeschema”, without any extension. Near the end of that file (in my case) you’ll find the field name information like this:
[SymbolFieldEditor]
[SymbolFieldEditor/Show]
Footprint=1
Datasheet=0
Comments=0
Manufacturer=1
Manufacturer’s\ Part\ Number=1
Description=1
Package=1
Reference=1
Like @lightpower, I had an old field name with “no.” in it. Deleted that line and eeschema now opens. I actually had two “eeschema” text files in my installation, one in the “kicad” root directory and another in the “6.0” subdirectory. I edited both, and after running the app once it looks like the one in the 6.0 folder is gone.
